1 Yearly Assessment Report of the Communication Studies Graduate Program I. Assessment Activities: A. Program Goals: The MA Communication Studies program provides an opportunity for students to develop individual programs of theory, research, and application among the areas of interpersonal, organizational, educational and public communication. The program is designed for students who seek careers as communication professionals or who intend to pursue further graduate study in the field. The program has not revised its goals during the previous academic year. B. Learning Outcomes/Data Collection Grades students earned for assignments in CMM 601 (Problems and Methods in Communication Research) and CMM 606 (Studies in Communication Theory), the required graduate courses, provided data for analyzing related objectives and outcomes since the last report. For all objectives, the Department s goal is 80% achievement of A or B as its benchmark. While somewhat unrealistic a benchmark for our toughest courses (CMM 601 (Research and CMM 606 Theory), the 80% provides a goal to which effort can be continuously directed. Objective 1: Distinguish among the major theoretical approaches to communication. Outcomes: In CMM 606 (n = 18) 78% students (n = 14) received an overall grade of B or A. The course as a whole has an emphasis on distinguishing among major theoretical approaches, indicating that the class as a whole was well able to distinguish the major theoretical approaches, though not quite achieving the 80% benchmark. Objective 2. Achieve mastery knowledge of a theory or program of research. Outcomes. Examining student achievement on the term paper assignment for CMM 606 (n= 18), 72% of students (n = 13) received a grade of B or A, not achieving the desired benchmark. feedback loop to discover strategies or emphases that might be helpful to them in achieving this objective will be Objective 3. Describe major theories/research programs in a communication field (e.g., interpersonal, organizational, public). Outcomes: Group presentations in CMM 606 covering several theories discussed in a chapter provides evidence of the ability to clearly distinguish theories of a particular chapter. With a focus on accurate, clear content as well as delivery, that 100% (n=18) of the students received A or B provides evidence that students understand and can distinguish different theories in varied contexts. With the reaction papers, 89% (16 of 18) of reaction papers received A or B. However, these

2 reaction papers by and large focused on smaller units of content, encompassing perhaps a couple of theories. The cumulative evidence from the group presentation, and reaction paper assignments is that students can distinguish among communication theories. Objective 4. Apply theoretical knowledge of communication to a particular context or situation. The proposal assignment in CMM 601 is situation/context specific. While 67% (10 out of 15) achieving an A or B falls short of the benchmark 80%, it should be noted that this is an improvement over the mean of previous years, and indeed the inclusion of the most recent results in the cumulative results contributed to the cumulative findings rising to 61%. While these results are derived from the course students believe is most difficult, nonetheless a continued press to move to the 80% benchmark will continue, by employing a feedback loop mentioned for Objective 2. Objective 5. Demonstrate critical thinking/listening skills. Outcomes. As noted previously, students generally hold that CMM 601 and CMM 606 are conceptually the most difficult. A measure of listening skill is the accurate assimilation and appropriate application of course content evidenced in course tests. In CMM 606, 61% (11 of 18) of students made a course grade of B or A, warranting remedial action. (See Objective 2.) Objective 6. Communicate effectively applying standards of the communication discipline. Outcomes. In CMM 606 (n=18), 100% received A or B, suggesting this objective is being achieved. Objective 7. Explain major communication methodologies. Outcome. CMM 601 focuses on quantitative research, so while varieties of research methods are emphasized in the course (e.g., experimental and nonexperimental methods, different methods of obtaining data), this variety is within the quantitative approach. Qualitative research, such as analysis of discourse and rhetorical analysis, is not part of the course. Within the parameters of quantitative research, student ability to distinguish quantitative methodologies was assessed in discussions of experimental/nonexperimental methods and the exercise that accompanied these discussions. All students (N =15) were able to distinguish experimental/nonexperimental methodologies. While providing informal verification that this objective is being achieved, a more formal assessment, such as identification/assessment of relevant test items, will be implemented in the future. Objective 8. Describe the validity elements of a major communication methodology. Outcome. 11 students (N = 15) were able to identify the validity elements of a major communication methodology in their proposals. 73% is one short of the 80% benchmark, evoking the feedback loop of Objective 2. Objective 9. Analyze/apply a communication research methodology in a particular communication field (e.g., interpersonal, organizational, public) and situations. Outcome. This objective is most fully realized in the term paper for CMM 601, in which students are asked to use acceptable communication research methods in mounting a communication research proposal. On this assignment (N = 15), 67% of students (N =

3 10) earned either A or B. The feedback loop described in Objective 2 will be C. Results : 1.Overall, the limited results reported in this assessment show varied achievement of benchmarks. A. Results for CMM 606 and 601 are the likeliest to show the greatest discrepancy in meeting the 80% benchmark, given these two courses are considered the most difficult and demanding by students. C. However, my belief is that by far the strongest predictor of student achievement in any of the courses or assignments is simply the aptitude and work ethic of the students. Those who are our stronger students tend to do better in all courses, while weaker students tend to have more problems. 2. For future assessments, courses should continue to be examined focusing on individual contexts, such as interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and public communication to enhance assessment of Objectives 2-6. The n for these courses is likely to be less than the required courses, but they are worth examination. 3. The department is in process of integrating a Health Communication track, given the recent successful recruitment of a qualified faculty member. Such a track will be a major boon for the Department, the graduate college and the College of Liberal Arts. 4. Practical realities constrain other revisions. For example, on objectives related to methodology, only quantitative methods are taught in CMM 601. However, broadening the scope of the course is not feasible, given that the course must include 6-8 weeks' focus on using statistics in research. Offering a course in qualitative research was recently done as a special topics course, but given the 36 hour expectation for earning a degree, making this course a requirement is a difficult issue. II. BOT Initiative 3 Compliance: Not applicable to graduate programs. III. Plans for the current year: The program will be collecting evidence from varied graduate courses during the spring and fall semesters of Continuing steps will be taken to forward implementation of Health Communication. Consideration of further development of qualitative research as a mandatory course, or an alternative to CMM 601 will occur. IV. Assistance Needed: None at the moment. IV. What one most important thing has the department/program learned through this process? The required courses continue to be the most problematic in terms of broad achievement of objectives.
